CS 350 - Grading Scheme

How your final grade will be calculated

First, component marks will be determined as follows:

ComponentDescription
A0, A1, A2, A3Your grades on assignments 0-3, expressed as percentages
M1,M2 Your midterm exam grades, expressed as percentages
FYour final exam grade, expressed as a percentage

Then, we will apply the following algorithm to determine your final course grade: 

Normal  = (0.02*A0 + 0.08*A1 + 0.125*A2 + 0.125*A3) + 0.125*M1 + 0.125*M2 + 0.40*F 
Exam    = (0.125*M1 + 0.125M2 + 0.40*F ) / 0.65

if ( Exam < 50% ) {
    Course Grade = min (Normal, Exam)
} else {
    Course Grade = Normal
}
Note in particular that you must pass the exams in order to pass the course.
